Welcome to Year One
We hope you enjoy visiting our Year One page which shows the wonderful learning that happens in our classrooms. Please follow us on Twitter @CanonYearOne.
Our topic this term is: Childhood
In the Childhood project, your child will learn words and phrases related to the passage of time. They will explore artefacts to help them to understand childhood in the past and how childhood has changed over time. They will explore the six stages of life and explore timelines and family trees. Everyday life in the 1950s will be explored, including shopping, transport, family life and childhood. They will also learn about the significance of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953 by studying photographs and online sources. The children will use maps to explore how places have changed over time and highlight any similarities or differences between childhood today and childhood in the 1950s. At the end of the project, they will create knowledge organisers for children who are about to study the topic of childhood.
In maths this half term, we will be focusing on:
Place Value
Sorting/ordering Objects
Recognising numbers as words
Counting forwards and backwards within 10
Understanding 1 less/1 more
Home Learning:
PurpleMash: Children are set weekly tasks on PurpleMash in their '2Do' folder which they are encouraged to complete at home.
Home Learning Project: We ask children to choose to complete a home learning project linked to their curriculum project being studied. Home learning projects provide a fun and creative opportunity for children to practise and apply new skills, as well as express their knowledge in a topic area.
